KOF 2017 - Act 3/14: Tyrants Must Tremble - Heihachi vs World
[Toggle Names]Description: Heihachi waits in his office, with his elite security team, waiting for his prizes to be brought to him. When challengers come, they will be struck down. But Heihachi has finally earned the fight that he deserves, not the one he has been hoping for. Not one fighter challenges, him, but a gauntlet of enraged martial artists, descending upon him to not simply beat him into humbleness, but to take him to a knee before the United Nations. And while Heihachi can endure nuclear blasts_ even one of the strongest fighters in the world can be worn down, can't he?
[HEIHACHI]
Security is stretched thin. With the gears in their final approach and many individuals making destructive efforts to breach the perimeter he's set up, Heihachi is fully aware that time has run out. You cannot quell an entire population in this manner forever, and Dizzy remained excessively elusive. She was well-attuned to his presence, and if he tried to get anywhere near her, it was no issue to flee somewhere else. Although she could not safely fly out of the city, it was massive on top of it, with almost none of the population aiding him. Areas cleared could be entered again only a day after, making it a circuitous waste of effort. Damnation. Fighting the Gears head-on is pointless. A way to stop them all in one fell swoop is in Southtown right now... perhaps he took too heavy a hand. He thought he would retrieve Dizzy in only a couple days.
No matter.
The building proper has only a skeletal guard of Tekken Forces and military assets, as the defense of Heihachi is not a priority. This information made it's way to certain parties who want him removed as the figurehead of the armed forces. If he is replaced, then it's almost certain that Southtown's siege will be lifted, even if all he has done has been technically legal in terms of national backing. This late in the game, with the stakes so high and countless lives at risk on multiple front, only he has refused to let people go.
At the apex of the Zaibatsu building is a grandiose office with a massive desk. A hole near the back is still covered in a tarp, not yet fixed from Jin's conflict prior. Heihachi himself is dressed in a fine black suit with a large scarf around his shoulders, going through a sea of reports as a good dozen radios shriek about conflicts, fights, and engagements.
What a pain... all of this has been pointless. His desire was to defend Japan by any means neccesary, to defy the international interests that have been weakening and suppressing it since the second World War. And now he's made out to be some B-class villain. People turning on him, instead of trying to find the Gear who can end this all, fight the monsters literally on the shores, the invaders coming to claim this great country...?!
Fingers clench over his papers, and his eyes slit narrowly. Lightning courses over his form, crackling hard as a growing sense of incredible pressure builds up like a hum through the entire multi-storied complex. The very clouded skies far above begin to boil in the wake of his bared fangs, papers blackening to cinders and falling between hands arced and licking with lightning.
He's mad, now.
Very mad.
[TERRY]
Southtown has not been the best of places for awhile now. Not since all the chaos has erupted and even worse people are divided because not everyone is on the same page. In this case Heihachi may have had good reason for what he is doing, but many see him as the cause of all the problems that have happened and why Southtown is under threat of being nuked by some crazy super weapon.
Terry had bided his time and tried to gather what information he could. He has spent plenty of time on the streets here and in the end perhaps it wasn't the information he needed to get, but he feels he is doing right by being one of the many taking the fight to GEEEEE....oh, right, Heihachi.
It certainly isn't the first tower of Southtown he has fought through and in a way there is a feeling of deja vu while working with two others he knows pretty much nothing about other than the fact they feel the same way he does. Heihachi must fall. It is utter chaos as what few forces that are left to defend Heihachi are dealing with multiple attacks so it is only a given some finally break through.
"OUKEI!" The shout is heard and a nameless mook working for Heihachi explodes through the doors leading to the room he is in. Soon following is Terry Bogard who surveys the room. Only more deja vu is felt as he sees the man in the office and the hole being tarped off. Did he get the right tower? He must have. That is certainly not GEEEESUH.
"Heihachi, it is time to stand down." Reiforcements are near, the Lone Wolf feels good about the chances, but he also has heard of the skill of the head of the Mishima. A man this feared is not to be taken lightly and Terry knows surrender isn't to be had. Even so he had to at least offer it. "Whatever you wanted isn't here. It is over."
[HUGIN]
Hugin lingered far longer in Southtown than she had intended, her personal crusade leaving her basically trapped once the bombs started falling. So for a moment her revenge is put on hold as she turns her attention to more important matters. Like making sure a bunch of idiots don't go blowing up the world. The powerful made everything more difficult.
So trailing after Terry through the door is Hugin, decked out in her full White Raven garb, the vigilante only someone murmured about on the news, after all, someone beatin gup criminals isn't exactly the story of the century. Full biker leathers, a fully visored helmet, and a voice modulator leave everything to the imagination. Other than being on the short side, it's hard to tell anything about the person in the costume. But one mustn't forget the shield emblazoned with the white toned rook that the vigilante name comes from. Though it's a little dented from pounding minion face it's still good enough to do the job.
The White Raven's entrance isn't nearly as volatile as Terry's, merely striding into the room as if she owned the place, no doubt her eyes casting about for escape routes and weapons of convenience as soon as she's through the door.
She speaks with a the tinny echo of the voice modulator. "I doubt he'll come quietly, they never do."
[MUNIN]
Things just keep going from bad to worse around here. The white Raven isn't alone. With her is Munin, clad in all black. Her jeans, her shoes, her shirt, and her hoodie. The hood is drawn up over her head, and the shadows are thick beneath. The only thing visible is the deep purple glow of her eyes in the gloom. It is only fitting that with a White Raven, there be a Black Raven alongside of sorts.
Alongside her partner in crime, she walks up to stand on the other side of Terry, facing down Heihachi "Even if we aren't enough, reincorcements aren't far behind. We just need to hold him here as long as we can......".
Her research into Heihachis skills has been extensive, and Munin knows that he is every bit as dangerous as his reputation and rumors attest. Information she has shared with her teammates at the earliest opportunity.
Shadowy mist begins to rise off her form, and dark purple chi swirls around her hands as she prepares herself, her small form ready for battle should one commence.....
[HEIHACHI]
The doors burst open, and Terry would be immediately hit with a powerful wave of sheer malignant force. This is not the corruption of Geese; the arrogance of a man who has refined and cursed his own body to surpass his limits. But a sheer, primal purity of someone who needs no trappings. It is rare for Heihachi Mishima to truly unveil his potential, and right now the weight of his chi is nearly tangible in the room. Warbles of energy fluctuate in the air, metal arcing powerful snaps of lightning between. Smoke hisses and sizzles from his body where his suit seems to be losing the progressive battle with the sheer intensity of his aura.
Lights flicker and crackle, some popping and going out. "Stand down...?" Heihachi says, his voice low and deep. Slowly he pushes to his feet, thumping his hands upon the wooden desk. Fire blooms around it from the conduit of his force, and his chair is partially melted and singed terribly from where he sat. "What do you know? Hungry Wolf. I am not some debase criminal fool. I am not the brain atop the head of society's festering underbelly. I am not Geese Howard, a pathetic man unable to accept his own weakness and limitations!!"
He suddenly sweeps his hand to the left. The gesture seems impossibly simple, but his desk -- weighing likely a couple thousand pounds -- goes flying to the left, spiraling madly. Papers and radios tumble in all directions, and it strikes the wall so hard that reinforced concrete and steel cave deeply outwards, allowing the sudden wash of wind to flood in. A storm is brewing outside now, pounding upon the large canvas tarp in the corner of the office.
"I AM HEIHACHI MISHIMA!! I HAVE NO LIMITS!!"
His body suddenly flashes, a great pulse of lightning so bright and potent the raw bones of his ribcage flash into view. Floorboards are sent flying away from him, and the eruption blows away his ceiling, sending dense bars and debris flying upwards to bare the sky. A great roar of thunder thrums in the heavens themselves, as it seems the very dark clouds are rotating slowly directly above Heihachi Mishima.
"I am doing this for Japan. I am doing this to end this threat. By any means neccesary. You could be finding that Gear. You could be fighting Justice. Challenging the divine God of Thunder himself. You think I would not lift this siege if the threat was over?! Fools! Contemptible, blind fools!! If a display of force could solve this crisis, do you think I would be sitting in this office?!"
The upwards rage of his chi begins shredding his suit, sending his scarf into tatters in the sky, the suit burning away to reveal dense, heavy muscle scarred with decades of training and fights. "Enough. Enough of this. If you think your way is right... then prove it with your fists...!!"
[TERRY]
erry is no stranger of facing men greater than him. Men with an aura that is frightening and could break lesser men than the Lone Wolf. But this.....this is so much greater than anything he has felt before. An overwhelming power that even leaves Terry in awe. A power that is ripping apart the top of the tower where they stand. Even so Terry keeps himself focused and there is little fear in the man's eyes. Only determination.
"No, not like Geese." Perhaps similar in some ways, but Geese has more an obsession of becoming the best and in turn often leads to his downfall. With Heihachi he isn't so sure about that. The man is confident and fierce. There are reinforcements on the way. They might just need them all.
"Even so you have endangered the people here. Endangered the town I call home. We wouldn't have to worry about Justice if not for you. I may not be as powerful as you, but......if you want a fight."
erry trails off and takes a deep breath. He starts to gather his own energy. An impressive aura in most cases, but even he is dwarfed by the sheer might of Heihachi. Even so he draws upon what energy he can, a flame like aura starting to form around him. "THEN OUKEI! YOU GOT A FIGHT!"

[HUGIN]
Some people have healthy coping mechanisms when it comes to being frightened or nervous, especially in the face of displays of raw power. Then there's Hugin, who's mouth is likely going to get her killed some day. It might even be today. Her voice flat even through the robotic modulation as she watches the desk go flying. "Fancy. You do children's parties?"
The the White Raven makes a little finger wiggle motion in Heihachi's direction. "Probably shouldn't shirtless, you might get in trouble." Luckily, that modulator hides the slight tremor in her voice, her gloves concealing the white knuckle grip she has on that shield.
She drops into a fighting stance, shield out in front of her, free hand held backwards as if reaching for an invisible weapon.
This invisible weapon manifests shortly after, a lance of white energy the crackles slightly as she moves it ever so slightly.
One quick glance is made in the direction of her companions, and she tosses the lance in the air, catches it in an over hand grip and javelin tosses it right at Heihachi. She might be calling attention to herself, but she's not just going to sit back and play it safe. Not now.
[MUNIN]
Incredible.
This is the only word Munin can think of as she feels the raw power Heihachi fills the room with, without even seeming to have to try..... it's amazing and terrifying simultaniously.... If not for the darkness under her hood hiding her face, the fear in her expression would be plain as day.
She says nothing however, and as the battle starts with White Raven throwing a spear of light, her own powers coelesce into her hands, and with a fling she throws waves of shadowy whispy chi at the monster of a man before them....

[HEIHACHI]
"If not for me...? What folly is this, Bogard? Would you have preferred we all bowed down to the Gears, and let such a threat establish itself? No...! These false monsters cannot be tolerated. I succeeded at that... nuking Mt. Fuji, threatening to destroy this city... whether I fall or not, the world will condemn their existance. And that, at least, will be my victory!!" Heihachi then swiftly shifts, slamming both of his knuckles together and causing another crack. Water begins to pour down, swirling from the skies above to wetten the interior. "But don't presume you can give me a 'fight', boy. You may have been gifted an incredible teacher and a natural talent... but in twenty years, I'll still be able to crush you!!"
The lance is hefted and hurled, but Heihachi kicks forward. It lashes through where he just stood to sink into the wall opposite, as Munin whirls up and flings dark chi at him. He merely dismissively waves his hand, crackle of lightning violently displacing it. His eyes are upon Terry only, the Hungry Wolf, the only one here worthy of his full attention.
"Come now, Bogard... can you last long enough for your mish-mash congegation to whittle me down?!" Heihachi then reaches backwards upon reaching Terry as he focuses. A great bolt of lightning roars down from the heavens and impacts his fist. It shines so brightly it might be difficult to look upon, banishing all shadows within the area as it wildly circulates. Then it swings overhead, a great and solemn arc that leaves a glowing trail of energy, aiming to impact upon Terry with sufficient force to invoke an incredible explosion that would shatter the very floor beneath, and likely send him tumbling into the supplementary offices a story down if it connects true...!!

[TERRY]
"I agree with the Gears being a threat, but there could have been another way. We won't agree on this so there is no reason to argue." Men like this are impossible to talk sense to. Terry has plenty of experience in such a matter given his connection with Geese Howard. This is going to be a fight where his actions will speak louder than any words. Even then he is unsure how good his actions will be. His confidence has faltered under Heihachi's presence, but he keeps his ground where many would run.
His gaze remains fixated on Heihachi even as his two companions go on the attack. He has been challenged and all he can do is accept and look to see if he can survive and overcome. His knuckles are white from balling his hands into fists so tightly and he sees the older fighter move into action. "We'll see...." is all he murmurs and he prepares for the onslaught.
He has to think fast and even more so he gets lucky due to the way the lightning goes out and temporarily blinds the Lone Wolf. His arms coming up to cross at the forearms and that fist impacting hard on the center of that X. The way Terry manages to brace against the incoming blow pushes him back instead of down through the ground and his sneakers skid across the wetting floor and away from the hold that does form in the ground and give way to the floor below.
The sheer strength. Terry has felt it now and he knows just how dangerous Heihachi is. He has to find a way to keep going and buy time for others to get here. He rears back and then surges forward and leaps. He looks to clear the hole in the ground now and over Heihachi himself before landing on the solid ground behind the mighty fighter. "BURN....." Terry murmurs as his own fist ignites with a firey chi Aura and he looks to slam his fist right into the back of the Mishima head. "KNUCKLE!"
[HUGIN]
Hugin bring ups her shield on reflex at the lightning strike, though the visor of her helmet provides some protection from the sudden glare, she's not taking chances. Nope.
She takes a quick step off to the side as Heihachi focuses his assault on Terry, taking the advantage of the single-mindedness to getting into a flanking position. She quickly takes a feq steps to get around behind the big bad boss man as Terry readies his own assault.
The she lunges in, swinging the shiled mounted to her arm in a downwards strike, aiming the rim of the shield like an axe blade at Heihachi.
She can already see their own path forward. The only way to take this man down is too attempt to relentlessly overwhelm him. Fancy tactics just probably won't work.
[MUNIN]
On cue with the other two, Munin also moves in. The tactical analysis in her mind is akin to White Ravens: overwhelm, and fast.
She abruptly splits in two, making incoming three into incoming four, the two Munins mirroring each others movements in their attack: a rushing palm strike aimed at Heihachis head and neck! Only the one on the left is real, however! She keeps her body loose in case she needs to react suddenly as she commences her offense!

[HEIHACHI]
A forearm shifts up and the shield slams into it. There's absolutely no give, as if she had struck an irrevocable wall; it is liable to just ricochet off his body, hardened intensely with inner thrums of lightning. Still recovering from the monumental assault that Terry masterfully deflected, he's left wide open to the other two assaults. Munin was indeed correct; she struck with an onslaught of confusing blows, weaving away from half of them, but the real strike hits true. Shifting, Terry's fist then rockets forward, slamming right into Heihachi's cheek...
A great burst of force erupts from behind Heihachi, his body twisting slightly away, feet angling forward as tails explode from fine loafers and dig within the partially crumpled ground. Steam rises from his cheek where the contact is momentarily sustained, but a look of pain slowly shifts to a cruel grin. "You got speed, kid... but nobody taught you raw strength, did they?!"
And then Heihachi looms, arms shooting up to either side of Terry. One snapping down to grasp him by the back of the neck, knee rocketing up to slam into his solar plexus with incredible force. A moment later he makes to twist and slam Terry's face explosively hard upon the ground, before twisting and shifting to hurl him towards the wall... hard enough to burst through it, and likely fall dozens of stories if he can't prevent himself from flying away. "Every blow must have more than your passion and soul behind it... but a drive to kill!! A drive to break!! Don't hold back on me, Terry... it's going to take more than tenacity to overcome ME!!" For now, Munin and Hugin seem to be mostly ignored. They had best reap those advantages as long as they can...!

Terry 2/<<<<<<</<<<<<<<|
[TERRY]
A small victory and Terry knows it. It is going to take more than a solid punch to the back of Heihachi to win this fight. Terry can just hope he can stay quick on his feet and try to wear the older fighter down along with his two allies. It is a nice thought, but perhaps not one that is going to come ot fruition.
Terry looks to quickly push off his feet and leap back, but he is quickly grabbed and that knee slams hard into Terry. Eyes go wide and mouth opening as blood spews out. Bones snap and there is a blackout when his face meets the ground soon after. He has been hit hard. He has survived some tough beatings as well, but he is a ragdoll when Heihachi throws him and he goes through the wall.
It seems Munin and Hugin could be on their own, but Terry regains conciousness enough to catch the ledge with one hand and keep from falling. It takes effort, but he manages to climb up and get to his feet. He is in a daze and looks to be trying to focus. "G....gonna take more than that....." he manages to say and he staggers forward a step and almost falls straight forward. He then rears back a fist and he takes another step. This time falling forward onto one knee to balance himself as the fist slams into the ground and he unleashes a fiery burst that careens along the ground and right towards Heihachi.
[HUGIN]
It's a shame that the malicious grin Hugin levels at Heihachi is hidden behind her helmet. She might fight on what she considers to be the side of good, but to her, sometimes good is destroying evil completely. Killing is not something that she avoids. Not little miss valkyrie.
Another of those lances of light forms in her hand as she steps in closer to the shirtless madman. She's not even casting a concerned look Terry's way. Either he's in the fight still or he's not, worrying about it now is only a distraction.
She whirls around, spinning the lance first over her head then around her feet, trying to catch Heihachi off guard by mixing up her attack.
[MUNIN]
It's all Munin can do to not pause in fear as Terry is sent flyingright past her and through the wall. That was a brutal hit. That he is still standing is amazing to her, let alone still fighting.....
She forces her feet to move anyway, a blur of darkness as she sends attacks at Heihachi with as much power as she can! She estimates that Terry may not last long, and after him, they most definately won't by themselves..... so she wants to do as much damage as possible in the hopes reinforcements will be able to make up the difference!
This is a stalling action more than a fight to win in her mind.
Finishing the combo, a lance of solid purple chi forms around her fist, and she ends her string of attacks with a leaping slash with this, hoping to put some distance between herself and him afterwards!
COMBATSYS: Munin blitzes into action and acts again!

[HEIHACHI]
The surging ball of power roars towards Heihachi, who rears back his fist and seethes it with electricity once more. Slamming down, he causes it to detonate, whirling chi all around and shaking the floor once more. "Pathetic!!" Hugin's relentless assaults are beginning to work, as she learns the simple and straightforward techniques of the Mishima family arts. Two lashes ripple across his thigh and shoulder, burning into him and shredding his quickly tattering pants. He spares her a seething glance, but that is the only acknowledgement he gets. Yet now, Terry is far away. And Munin has taken the initiative of being within range of Heihachi's ruthless assaults. And then Munin leaps towards him.
His hand thrusts out, catching her by the throat. With a roar he then brings forward both palms after letting her go, slamming them into her stomach. Electricity roars into Munin's body before she'd be launched like a smoking rocket to the side, to impact the adjoining wall leading into Kuma's personal office, where the great bear is apparently sleeping in the corner. Plenty of honey pots and bear-themed items in there, to say the least. "Don't think I've forgotten about you, vermin...! I'm not here to play fair. You wish to crush my ambitions?! Then I'll crush you all myself!!"
[TERRY]
Terry manages to get fully back to his feet, but he is swaying and having a hard time keeping upright. It is sheer determination that he is even able to move at this point. His face smashed and bones shattered. He should probably be in a hospital right now, but he keeps standing. "Yeah.....you are." The best choice of words? Hell no. At the same tactic he has used on Geese to just rile him up and make mistakes. Will it work with someone like Heihachi? Terry is about to find out.
He tries to focus on the blurry image of Heihachi. He can only tell it is Munin being tossed about for the fact Hugin's white outfit makes it easier to make out right now. He isn't sure how much longer before backup shows and he isn't even sure how much longer he can stay up. It doesn't stop him from coming right towards Heihachi.
The pace a bit slow at first, but he manages to break into something of a hobbled run. His body refusing to stumble and fall over, but instead he wills it forward and leaps. He extends his left foot out in a simple jump kicked aimed right at the chest of Heihachi. Simple, but hopefully somewhat effective. If anything getting in close might draw the attention back to him and save the other two more punishment for awhile longer.
[HUGIN]
"You son of a.." The White Raven seems to have more of a reaction to Munin being thrown about than Terry. Dare one say, the vigilante might even sound down right pissed. The stupid voice modulation makes it hard to pick out, but the tone and volume make the assumption easy enough.
Spear dissipated, Hugin continue her assault on Heihachi, unrelenting, and her first clean strike only seems to motivate her to further action.
She keeps up the spinning assault, lighter on her feet than the thick leather outfit might suggest she should be capable of. Doing her best impression of a top, she swings the shield again, having more cause to use it offensively than defensively so far. Shield may not be the best weapon, but no one likes being hit with a heavy hunk of metal.
[MUNIN]
A scream rips from Munins lips as the attack impacts her. If that pain weren't enough, she then goes through the wall! Tumbling through Kumas area, she crashes through several pots empty of their food, and a toy or two, before coming to rest on the floor, blood pouring from her mouth. Electricity still arcs off her body, making her muscles spasm painfully as she tries to pull herself to her feet, the glow of her eyes dimmer than before, as she struggles to stay conscious.
Biting back the pain, she moves to reengage, hoping the hemmoraging that is likely going on internally isn't lethal as she half-leaps back through the hole she made, to send a kick at Heihachi from the other side as White Raven. It isn't much, but it's the best she can manage after that hit.....

And yet you waste our strength on this pointless endeavor...!" One forearm shifts up to intercept Terry's knee, slamming into him with a grunt. Hugin lunges forward as well, and he's forced to awkwardly twist away. Had that been the end of the assaults, then all the better. Only munin counters perfectly, and she strikes him right in the spine. He staggers forward with a growl of pain, before suddenly surging with power once more. Electricity wreathes him like iron cables, and he roars while thrusting up his hands. "This is no battle!! Three desperate weaklings, piling on me like children!!" He suddenly builds up strength, before seeming to vanish. The motion leaves an electrified puddle in his wake from where the water pours from above. He seems to manifest directly behind Hugin then, rearing back his arm. Time seems to be going in slow motion as his electricity ripples up, empowering his entire arm. Sliding one leading foot forward, he then twists, unleashing a point-blank strike, aiming to shatter through any brought-up shield and strike her in the face, aiming to award her the same treatment as the others as a great bolt of lightning impacts his fist the same moment it might hit the shield maiden...!!
COMBATSYS: Heihachi knocks away Hugin with Lightning Bolt.
! VENGEANCE !

[TERRY]
Terry at listens to Heihachi in this case. He is told to keep coming at him and he has no reason not to. He does take a few steps back and he takes a deep breath. "Well that is good and all, but....."
His fist tightens as he rears back as if he was a pitcher about to throw a fastball right at the older figher. "Are you OUKEI?"
With that question asked he lunges forward. His fist looking to impact solidly into the chest of Heihachi all while trying to gather as much energy as he can. His aura defiantly trying to fight back against the more powerful one coming from Heihachi. It is less the fist hitting and more the fact once it connects he looks to unleash all that energy in one big blast looking to show Heihachi the power of the Lone Wolf.
[HUGIN]
Ever see a White Raven fly? Because one's doing it right now, without wings even. She goes flying right into a wall and crumples to the ground where she just kind of flops for a moment. When she gets up the visor of her helmet is completely cracked, requireing the removal of that bit of her costume.
The helmet is yanked off and tossed aside, and sure enough there stands Munin's more lippy doppleganger, a bit of blood streaming from her nose and the corner of her mouth.
"SKY!" She shouts the word as if it should mean something, and well, to one of the other combatants on the field really should, if she's paying attention.
Heihachi isn't the only one with sparky tricks, and Hugin take one step then another, her eyes lighting up with chi as electric chi sparks off of her body and shield.
With a warscream she breaks into a run right at Heihachi, burning through the pain, or else using it to push her forward, as she closes in, she tucks low and bursts into a powerful, chi-backed uppercut in an attempt to send the older fighter flying upwards into the aforementioned sky.
[MUNIN]
As Hugin shouts 'SKY!', Munin nods and leaps into the air, blurring into motion despite the massive pain shes in!
She blurs past, striking at the monsterous man, then changes angle, and does it again..... and again.... she seems a blur of shadow, moving in and out rapidly, sending a bevvy of strikes at him! a pair of illusory images also are mixed in, making her speed seem faster than it REALLY is. In truth shes moving just above her normal speed, but disguising it to seem more and confuse as she attempts to deal damage!
Afterwards, she ends by attempting to grab Heihachi by the neck, and fling him overhead to try to send him flying to the floor a distance away!

Damnit.
Heihachi might be a dominant fighter, but Terry has some incredible techniques. And he's just unleashed the greatest one he possesses. No sooner has he punched Hugin away than Terry is rushing forward, and there's just a look of utter aggravation before the fist sinks in. Heihachi doubles forward, pain blooming from his eyes, before a great explosion sends him flying backwards. He hits the wall /hard/, bouncing off and staggering forward. It's then that Hugin rushes forward, but where a normal person might be helpless to the pain and agony, he just roars. His hand sweeps up in a roar of momentum, catching the woman by the face. And then a brutal chi-imbued strike slams into her face a second time, sending her flying backwards to slam harmlessly into Munin, ruining the follow-up and likely removing one of the fighters from it. "Can you say... you are right, Terry?! Shouldn't this anger... this power... go towards the Gears?! Removing me does nothing...!! This war will end... one way or another... within a day!!"
[TERRY]
The fact Heihachi could absorb so much punishment and still keep moving is a testament to his strength. Terry put pretty much everything he had into his strongest of attacks and it only slowed Heihachi down for a few moments. It wasn't enough to end this. It wasn't enough to save poor Hugin suffering that horrific palm strike moments after Terry's attack. "I don't know what is right anymore. All I can do is follow my instincts. I feel even if you took all of your anger and power and directed it towards the Gears where would you aim it towards next?"
Terry still looks in bad shape, but he finds himself feeling abit more alert and his vision clearing up somewhat once more. The adrenaline is also pumping and help numb the pain that is running through his body. He isn't sure how bad Hugin and Munin are feeling right now, but he knows he can push himself just a bit further.
The time for sound choices is long gone. Heihachi still stands, but Terry can feel a faulter in the man's powerful aura. He is strong. He may just break all three of them and still stand, but he can't keep this up. Forward into the heart of danger he goes. His pace picking up speed as he looks to just plow right into Heihachi shoulder first with all the momentum he can muster.
[HUGIN]
Hugin lets out a cry of pain as Heihachi's strike hits her full-on and sends her flying away from the man. She does not look like she has much fight left in her as she crumples to her knees, eyelids slowly sliding shut, unconsciousness moving to overtake her.
Mustering the last of her strength, chi flares around her, even stronger than it was a moment ago, whisps of white light flickering off of her, the last flare of a setting sun.
With everything she has left in her she flings her arm towards Heihachi, sending her shield spinning through the air towards the man, one last parting shot from the White Raven.
COMBATSYS: Hugin can no longer fight.

[MUNIN]
Luckily for Hugin, she was knocked more or less directly into her sister. This acts not only as a body check of sorts knocking Munin out of her attack, but allows said sibling to quickly catch Hugin as she loses consciousness.
A quick check of the pulse reveals Hugin still lives, but a growl of anger escapes Munins lips as she glares at Heihachi. The shadowy chi drifting off her body suddenly ignites in a blaze of dark purple chi, mixing with the black and highlighting her form.
Her temper, however, gets the better of her. Once more a 'blade' of chi forms from one of her hands, and with a burst of speed she rushes in on Heihachi, attempting to impale him in the stomach!

Damnit... Terry Bogard's a tenacious bastard in the best of circumstances. Flanked by two people well-suited to fighting together and creating openings, it becomes too much. Forced to divert resources to managing Hugin and Munin left him worn out and vulnerable to the predations of the Hungry Wolf. Although the spear is woven away from, Terry was once more bursting forward prepared to strike. He had to give his full attention to one or the other... and thus spelled this successful impact. The blade sinks deep into his gut, before Terry's fist slams into his face, and he slams back-first into the ground. When the pair slither away from him, he does not immediately get up. Eyes are glazed for a few moments, before he startles.
"...ahhh. I passed out. ...are you kidding me...? Hahaha... You made ME. /THE/ Heihachi Mishima... PASS OUT...!!" He then rolls into a sit, and unsteadily raises to his feet. Then he pulls out a small vile filled with a strange green liquid. He slams it into his neck, and the plunger auto-injects. It flares into his veins, which begin to bulge out. Muscles expand, and his eyes crackle with electricity. He didn't want to use this drug... to cede that his old body finally gave out, and he can't continue... but to fall here risks everything. All his goals and ambitions are on the line.
His power seems to resurge even greater than it was at the onset, great roars of lightning rippling across his body as steam erupts and flows out in all directions, fingers curling and popping one by one. Glancing between the two who remain standing, before beckoning them both in tandem.
"Come...! I'll show you who the REAL God of Lightning is in this planet...!!"
[TERRY]
For a few moments Terry can feel the aura of Heihachi die down. Did he and his two allies manage to win the battle? He wants to think that is the case, but very soon it is made known that the head of the Mishima was not finished just yet. The fact he could take so much punisment and move is amazing, but the fact he seems to have used something to help regain his energy make things outright frightening. "Shit...."
Terry gets ready for another onslaught, but it is interrupted. Heihachi still stands, but it seems reinforcements seem to have come in to help take care of Terry and Munin who are still standing. A swarm of Jack Bots looking to distract the already weakened Lone Wolf who has to fight on the defensive and get pushed back. "You, take care of your friend." he shouts to Munin while dealing with the reinforcements. For now they will have to retreat and Terry will hold things back as long as he can. He can only hope others can find their way through the chaos and finish what Terry, Munin and Hugin started.
COMBATSYS: Terry resumes wandering.

[MUNIN]
Glowing violet glare at Heihachi as he revitalizes himself before turning to look at Terry as he distracts the incoming bots. The dark purple and black chi enveloping Munin abruptly disperses, and with a short leap she is back over to Hugin, who she picks up. She gives Terry a nod "Ok. Get out while you can. Our backup will handle this further!".
With that, she uses what energy she has left to zip out the door in bursts of shadowy chi, moving around the Jack Bots and getting herself and Hugin out of the fire! She coughs up a gout of blood to the side as she goes, the strain of whatever it was she just did against Heihachi definately taking a huge toll on her. Despite this, she takes the stairs, using them to hide for a moment, rest up, and try to revive Hugin back to consciousness so they can escape the building.
COMBATSYS: Munin has ended the fight here.
